1. Homes in the suburbs were affordable to middle class families. This had to do with lower land prices in suburbs vs. the city and also new building practices that brought down the cost of these suburban homes.

2. The G.I. bill provided loans to military veterans, so this also helped them be able to afford "the American dream" of home ownership.

3. The construction of highways facilitated travel into the cities for work from the suburbs. (Note that the Federal Aid Highway Act was passed in 1956.)

4. There was a perception that life in the suburbs would be safer and less susceptible to crime than life in the city.

That's several reasons you can work with.

Consider the writing prompt. "Explain the factors that led to the Berlin Airlift. Which evidence would be most useful in address

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The factors that led to the Berlin Blockade were a combination of economic and ideological conflicts. On the one hand, the existing and growing rivalry between the Soviet Union and the democratic allies (America, Britain and France) in ideological terms, with the rivalry between communism and capitalism, fueled a constant state of tension and dispute between the two Germanies. To this was added the recent monetary reform carried out in West Berlin, which accompanied the adoption of the Mark in West Germany. This currency was much stronger than the East German currency, so the Soviet authorities feared that it might produce a kind of de facto economic control by the West over East Germany.

These factors made the Soviet authorities decide to close its borders with West Germany, practically closing West Berlin and economically isolating it from the rest of the world, in an event that is known as the Berlin Blockade.
